Puzzle

ABSTRACT

The puzzle includes a puzzle body; score lines which are arranged on the puzzle body at predetermined interval in a longitudinal and horizontal directions; joined pieces which are arranged at the puzzle body divided by the score lines, capable of joining the joined piece as an individual piece and fitting together as at least one drawing, letter and the like; and a perforated line which is formed at a predetermined portion on the score lines adjacent the outer circumferential part of the puzzle body, capable of tearing along the perforated line. Therefore, it is easy to join the letter, picture or the like, everyone can enjoy, and it can be used in the attractive state.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates to the puzzle which joins in the statewhere it folded up.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The conventional puzzle is joined in the state which the centerpiece of puzzle sheet already clipped or the state which the cuttingpart is already contained.

[0003] Therefore, since there are many pieces which put together and theputting the puzzle together is complicated mostly in the conventionalpuzzle sheet, it cannot join simply which everyone can enjoy.

[0004] Moreover, since the description is printed inside the puzzle andis printed another sheet, it is very hard to see.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0005] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to providea puzzle which can enjoy everyone, and it is easy to join the pieces ofthe puzzle. Moreover, it achieves the attractive puzzle.

[0006] The present invention is understood to encompass embodimentswhich include all or only a portion of the above objects, features andadvantages which, unless recited in claims defining the invention, areunderstood not to limit interpretation of such claims. The above, andother objects, features and advantages of the present invention willbecome apparent from the following description read in conjunction withthe accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals designatethe same elements.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0021] Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described inmore detail below referring to the accompanying drawings. Anunderstanding of the present invention may be best gained by referenceFIGS. 1 to 4. The numeral 1 shows a puzzle in the present invention. Thepuzzle 1 is comprised of a puzzle body 2 which is formed in the shape ofa square, or rectangle or the like, the square shape in this embodiment,having a sheet shape; score lines 3 which are arranged on the puzzlebody 2 at predetermined interval in a longitudinal and horizontaldirections on the puzzle body 2 so as to divide by three parts in thepuzzle body 2; joined pieces 4 which are arranged at least one surfaceof the puzzle body 2, capable of joining the joined piece 4 as anindividual piece and fitting together as a one drawing, letter M and thelike; a perforated line 5 which is formed at a predetermined portion onthe score lines 3 adjacent the outer circumferential part of the puzzlebody 2, capable of tearing along the perforated line 5; and a separationpart 6 which is formed at a center part of the puzzle body 2 via aperforated line 5 a so as t be able to tear along the perforated line 5a from the puzzle body 2.

[0022] The joined pieces 4 are drawn at least one letter, picture M orthe like on the joined pieces 4, one piece of the joined pieces 4 isdrawn one part of the letter, picture M or the like. One letter orpicture is completed when the joined piece 4 is put together. When theseparation part 6 is tea red from the puzzle body 2, the joined pieces 4is formed in the shape of a frame.

[0023] For the separation part 6 in this embodiment, the descriptionabout how to play the puzzle of this invention is printed to the surfacethereof.

[0024] In the puzzle 1, when in use, the perforated line 5 and 5 a aretore, and the separation part 6 is tore from the puzzle body 2 as shownin FIG. 2. Moreover, the eight pieces as the joined pieces 4 areperformed by a mountain fold, valley fold and free fold along the scorelines 3. As shown in FIG. 4, four pieces that appear in the surface ofthe puzzle body can complete at least one character, picture or thelike.

[0025] Therefore, the number of the joined pieces 4 can be decreased.Therefore, there are many combinations, and it is easy to join theletter, picture M or the like. Moreover, it can be used in theattractive state as a sales promotion article, premium exchange ticket,etc. as shown in FIG. 4.

[0026] In addition, the joined pieces 4 which are arranged at onesurface of the puzzle body 2 is explained in this embodiment. Moreover,the joined pieces 4 may be arranged both surfaces or back surface of thepuzzle body 2.

[0027] Other embodiments of the present invention will now be describedreferring to FIGS. 5 to . Through the drawings of the embodiments, likecomponents are denoted by like numerals as of the first embodiment andwill not be further explained in great detail.

[0028] A second embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figs. -.It is distinguished from the first embodiment in that the perforatedlines 5 is formed at an eight portions on the score lines 3 adjacent theouter circumferential part of the puzzle body 2A, capable of tearingalong the perforated lines 5. Accordingly, a puzzle 1A with the puzzlebody 2A according to the second embodiment will provide similaradvantages to that according to the first embodiment. Moreover, the usercan select any perforated line 5 and can tear along the line 5.

[0029] A third embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figs. -.It is distinguished from the first embodiment in that the separationpart 6 is formed at a center part of the puzzle body 2 via a perforatedline 5 a so as t be able to tear along the perforated line 5 a from thepuzzle body 2B without the perforated line 5. Accordingly, a puzzle 1Baccording to the third embodiment will provide similar advantages tothat according to the first embodiment.

[0030] A fourth embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figs. -.It is distinguished from the first embodiment in that joined pieces 4and 4A are arranged at least one surface of the puzzle body 2C, capableof joining the joined piece 4 and 4A and fitting together as a twodrawings, letters M, N and the like. Accordingly, a puzzle 1C accordingto the fourth embodiment will provide similar advantages to thataccording to the first embodiment.

[0031] A fifth embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figs. -.It is distinguished from the first, second third and fourth embodimentsin that the score lines 3 are arranged at predetermined interval in alongitudinal and horizontal directions so as to divide by four parts inthe puzzle body 2D. Accordingly, a puzzle 1D according to the fifthembodiment will provide similar advantages to that according to thefirst, second, third and fourth embodiment.

[0032] Moreover, the score lines 3 which are divided by four parts inthe puzzle body are explained in this embodiment, and the lines whichare divided by five, six parts or the like in the puzzle body may beused the joining may be completed. Then it can revitalize the game.

[0033] Furthermore, although each embodiment differs mainly explainedbased on the first embodiment, when the composition used for eachembodiment uses the present invention is combined, the same effect isachieved.

[0034] As set forth above, the advantages of the invention are asfollows:

[0035] (1) The puzzle includes a puzzle body; score lines which arearranged on the puzzle body at predetermined interval in a longitudinaland horizontal directions; joined pieces which are arranged at thepuzzle body divided by the score lines, capable of joining the joinedpiece as an individual piece and fitting together as at least onedrawing, letter and the like; and a perforated line which is formed at apredetermined portion on the score lines adjacent the outercircumferential part of the puzzle body, capable of tearing along theperforated line. Therefore, the number of the score lines can bedecreased, and it is easy to join the letter, picture or the like.

[0036] (2) As discussed above, everyone can enjoy, and it can be used inthe attractive state.

[0037] (3) As discussed above, it can manufacture cheaply and easily.
